Fire Weather Discussion as of 7:25 p.m. PDT, Wednesday, November , 2025:

     The Daily Fire Weather Discussion has ended for the 2025 Fire Season. It will only be updated as conditions warrant.

Aviation discussion as of 7:25 p.m. PDT Wednesday, March 25, 2026 valid through 10:00 p.m. PDT Thursday, March 26, 2026: 

     VFR conditions early this evening will likely deteriorate down to MVFR and possibly brief IFR as a band of scattered to numerous snow showers pushes across the region before ending shortly after midnight. Little to no runway accumulations are anticipated. Once the band pushes through anticipate a return to VFR conditions. Winds will be light overnight then pick up from the west and southwest on Thursday at 10 to 20 mph. Stronger winds will be observed across higher elevations which will cause some LLWS overnight into the morning hours on Thursday before mixing allows winds to surface at the airport.
